British Orienteering believes in clean sport and work in partnership with UK Anti Doping (UKAD), the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) and our International Federation (IOF) to ensure the integrity of our sport is protected.
All those taking part in orienteering from elite level right through to grassroots, have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean.
The use of performance enhancing drugs and other doping behaviour severely damages the legitimacy of sport and undermines the integrity of clean athletes. All athletes have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, their competitors and support staff practice positive anti-doping behaviour.
Each year, British Orienteering undertakes a variety of activities to ensure members and athletes are informed of the requirements.
British Orienteering wishes to keep all members updated on actions from 2023 and informed of plans for 2024 and outlined here is an update on our progress.
